Temple Shelter Fontengon Temple to the God Machu near Chiayi Rock told us that this barn-like structure went up over the temple after the 1999 earthquake (see later photos).   However, this certainly isn't going to help in another quake!   We figure they put the structure up to reduce weathering damage to the intricate sculptures on the roof, and that the timing is coincidental.

The residents of the valley were not so lucky.
